José Antonio Pedrosa Galán (born 2 February 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Gibraltar Football League club Europa, on loan from Bruno's Magpies. A known journeyman, Galan is currently the Spanish player who has played in the most countries (14).
Galán was born in León, Castile and León. A Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa youth graduate, he made his debut as a senior with Atlético Madrid's C-team in 2005, in Tercera División; in the same season, matches with the reserves in Segunda División B. [2]
In 2007, after one year at CD Toledo, Galán moved to UD Almería, being initially assigned to the B-side. In November 2009, after being already called up to the main squad by manager Hugo Sánchez, he suffered a serious knee injury which sidelined him for ten months. [3] [4]
Galán was subsequently released by the Rojiblancos, [5] and returned to action in September 2010 while playing for division four club Atlético Astorga FC. [6] In January of the following year, he moved to CD Comarca de Níjar in the same tier. [7]
On 16 July 2011, Galán returned to his first club Cultural. [8] On 31 January of the following year he moved abroad, after agreeing to a one-year deal with Chainat FC from the Thai Premier League; [9] he was also the first Spaniard to ever appear in the competition. [10]
In June 2012, Galán was released due to an ankle injury. [11] In February 2013, he signed a two-year contract with Liga Indonesia Premier Division team Pro Duta FC, becoming the first Spanish footballer in the country in the process. [12]
Galán switched teams and countries again on 1 March 2014, signing for Austrian Football First League's SKN St. Pölten. [13] After appearing rarely, he moved to Shabab Al-Ordon Club in Jordania. [14]
On 3 September 2015, Galán joined Cypriot First Division club Aris Limassol FC. [15] He left in December due to a lack of payment, [16] meeting the same fate at his next team, CSM Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț from Romania. [17] [18] [19]
Still in 2016, Galán represented Persela Lamongan in the Indonesia Soccer Championship [20] and Finnish Veikkausliiga's Rovaniemen Palloseura. [21] Whilst in representation of the former, he was selected to the July Team of the Month. [22]
On 26 July 2017, after unassuming spells at CE L'Hospitalet and FC Santa Coloma (with whom he appeared in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against FC Alashkert, a 1–1 home draw), [23] [24] [25] Galán joined Hong Kong Premier League club Dreams Sports Club. [26] Roughly one year later, he switched teams and countries again after signing for Al-Shamal SC in the Qatargas League. [27]
On 15 July 2019, Galán signed a multi-year contract with Canadian Premier League side Valour FC. [28] After making 13 league appearances in his first year and having adapted well to Winnipeg, [29] he was retained for the following season. [30] In September 2020 Galán signed with Spanish side Villarrobledo on a season-long deal. [31] The deal was with the view to return to Valour for the 2021 Canadian Premier League season. [32] On 10 May 2021, he re-signed with Valour. [33]
In January 2022 he announced his time in Winnipeg was ending. [34]
